What does a week to ten days in a hospital cost?

How much of that cost will be paid by the taxpayers?

I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Generally, most government regulations are based on the value of a life is $150,000 to $200,000. For instance, if a fire suppression system on an aircraft can be shown to cost less than $200,000 per theoretical life saved, the manufacturer will be required to install the system on the airplane. Interesting enough, in the nuclear power industry, the value of a life is about one million dollars. People make economic decisions on safety all the time. There is no doubt that that a Ford F150 is a safer vehicle than a Toyota Prius, but a Prius is cheaper and more economical to operate.

If you are vulnerable, stay at home. Be cautious. But do not expect the world to stop on your behalf.

They went to the protest voluntarily, knowing the risks. People die all the time from a number of causes, and in fact every life starts with a death sentence at the end of it. Being out of work and out of money is more hazardous to your health than Covid-19. The former causes suicide, death by violence and drug addiction in the young. The latter only sometimes causes death in the old and in frontline workers, and precious little of it in rural areas. So your question is foolish and inappropriate.
